FASD Awareness in conversation with Siblings

Free Webinar: Thursday 17th October 2024 – 8.15pm – 9.15pm


Have you considered or appreciated the role of siblings when someone new enters a family?


Siblings can frequently be overlooked as part of any Family Unit. Their relationship and role requires consideration, their needs and voice should be heard. Families caring for individuals living with FASD can sometimes get consumed, trying to navigate the requirements of the FASD individual under their care, through no fault of other family members but simply by the nature of the time and attention devoted to ensure the FASD individual's needs are correctly identified and supported in a holistic manner. FASD family units consist of Birth parent families, Fostering, Adoption or SGO families. At FASD Awareness we have been working alongside families for many years and often discuss the siblings and their involvement, feelings and roles. We felt it was important to host a webinar where parents, carers and social care professionals can hear the views and feelings of siblings. These siblings sometimes become young carers and amazing advocates for the individuals living with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in their homes. The conversation will be covering relationships, discussing the challenges, advantages, disadvantages, lessons learned and personal development with living alongside FASD and any views that come along with it.
